An increasing urge is building to ditch as much tech as possible out of the home. Possibly all except the dumbphone, including the TV.
I cannot say it's built to the point of action, but there's some compelling arguments for doing so.
- dvtv75 9y agoIt's interesting that you say this. I'm watching the first season of Stranger Things just now, and am finding myself longing for my home of the early 1980s, without computers, just a radio and TV, and my bike. I'm also finding that I'm reloading HN a few times a day (honestly close to 30) in the hope of forgetting that I'm alive while I find something else interesting to read.
- daxorid 9y agoIt's 2017, and in the current sociopolitical milieu, it may be regarded as "abuse" to unilaterally remove television from the home against the wishes of your spouse and/or kids. I would love to do this as well, as I harbor an abiding hatred for the passive entertainment industry in general. But it's often not worth the relationship cost.
